Church of Scientology facing back-pay claims

The Church of Scientology is facing the prospect of back-pay claims that on some estimates could run into millions of dollars.

In March last year the ABC’s Four Corners broadcast a program containing allegations of mistreatment and exploitation of some of the church’s most loyal members.

The next day, the Fair Work ombudsman started an investigation into the church.

ABC’s Lateline has obtained a draft copy of that investigation’s report, which contains allegations of false imprisonment and forced labour — via redwolf.newsvine.com
